Hi, I'm Mathias Meyer, nice to meet you!

Thanks to the guys from Confreaks, there's a whole bunch of video material from
conferences for the rest of us to enjoy. I've been watching quite a few recently, so
here's some recommendations of talks I found interesting.

Great introduction to the essence of Chef and how easy it is to write your own
cookbooks and recipes. I agree with lots of the things James talks about here, and the
their way of using Chef comes pretty close to how we're using it on
Scalarium.

The gist of all of them for me: They're a lot less about Ruby or even Rails. Personally
I'm pretty bored of hearing yet another talk on these topics, or stuff like Cucumber.
Talks that expand my horizon beyond what people do with Rails have become a lot more
interesting to me.
